DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Going to be in a car for 8 days...
« on: January 09, 2013, 07:10:34 pm »
On Monday I will be packing up and moving from Washington all the way to New Jersey. I already know I'll be playing Dwarf Fortress a lot for sure but any ideas on specific cool or FUN things to do while sitting there?

DF Gameplay Questions / Vermin remains and outside
« on: December 15, 2012, 09:52:05 pm »
I am endeavoring to make a large medieval castle and it's coming along nicely but I have come across a very slight problem, nothing I can'r deal with but I'm hoping there is a better way. If what I am assuming is right, Refuse isn't going to be picked up above ground as the dwarves aren't too worried about rotting. If this is true, and I'm not just doing something dumb, is there anyway to make them pick the remains up and put them in a refuse pile?  I've been hiding them but is there any other way to get rid of them? I've also tried to dump them but the dwarves don't seem to want to do it for whatever reason and yes, I had idlers with refuse hauling enabled.

DF Gameplay Questions / Dumb Dwarfs won't build wall
« on: December 04, 2012, 09:22:48 pm »
I am trying to build an all above ground fort but I have run into a problem, The dwarves go to build the wall but when they try to build it they are standing in they square that the wall should be giving me the 'Urist McStoneWorker cancels construct building: Creature occupying site' message. I've tried using restricted traffic areas with high movement costs, deconstructing blocks around that one spot and constructing the rest of the building before hand but to no avail, Any Help?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Warm Biome: Snow
« on: November 24, 2012, 01:35:38 pm »
Sometimes when I embark onto a warm or sometimes higher temperature map I'll get there and there will be snow on the ground, most of the time it thaws within minutes and then I never get snow again but this time it thaw sort of in sections and the water never thawed. Anyone know why this happens?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Awesome Miner
« on: November 22, 2012, 02:55:40 pm »
So the FB Lari came, it was an Enormous Scaly BristleWorm with small moss green scales and stretched skin wings, beware it's Deadly Dust. I got everyone into my burrows but one miner was still in the caverns with Lari. Lari went over to my miner and didn't attack for a second, just waited about 10 squares away from her. I figured she was going to die so I just made into her own squad, gave the copper pick she was using as a weapon, and sent her after the FB. She then proceeded to just walked up to it, stab her pick through it's wing, stabbed it in the eye and then lodged her pick in it's brain. She then proceeded to leave the pick in the body and walked off without a scratch on her.

She will forever be written into the legends of The Great Fortress, Kunivom (CatFarm in the common tongue)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Fortress Designs
« on: October 28, 2012, 02:39:37 pm »
I find that if I have more than a few fortresses that are made in the same way it starts feeling repetitive, so I made this thread to ask people for what their fortress designs are so anyone who wants to can come to this thread and integrate some of the ideas here into their game. Try and use screenshots if you can as I think it's hard to visualize descriptions about dwarf fortress.

DF Gameplay Questions / Challenge Fortress Question
« on: October 24, 2012, 09:38:03 pm »
I have decided to take up a challenge from the wiki in making your fortress a jail for dwarven kind, the king will send you inmates (migrants) regularly and it is your job to lock them up, regardless of age or sex. I was wondering what the best way to lock them up would be, I'm going to give them food and drink from a hatch in the roof of their cell but I'm not sure if I should just assign them a room and lock them in which would be the most efficient way of doing it or if I can assign them burrows. How would you do it?

If I'm able to figure this out I think I'll make a little story out of it and post it on the forums.

So can anyone give me a run down of the Justice system? i.e. Positions, What each person does, anything else you think may be important?

DF General Discussion / Do you think that with...
« on: October 20, 2012, 12:53:19 pm »
Do you think that with new games like Castle Story coming out Dwarf Fortress will become more popular? And if it does how do you think that will effect the community. On one hand I think a larger fan base is always good but at the same time I'm really hoping it doesn't dissolve how helpful and all around awesome everyone in the Dwarf Fortress community is.

DF Modding / How to get into modding?
« on: October 14, 2012, 11:00:48 pm »
I was wondering what exactly I would need to do to get into modding. Get familiar with the raws, learn C++? I've dabbled in C++ before but never very far past the basic hello world. Is it something I should expound upon?

DF General Discussion / Chapter 1?

On the title screen of Dwarf Fortress it says Chapter II. I was wondering if there was ever a chapter 1?
